A blog recently suggested that pharmacists should use facial recognition to better serve patients.  The software could be used to identify patients entering the pharmacy and give pharmacists personalized information with which to greet and serve the patients.

I think that is a great idea!

It can be linked to patient records and other valuable information about buying habits and behaviors (e.g., smoking, snack food purchases).  Of course, it is easy to see how this information can be abused.  But in the right hands, it can do a lot of good.
